I shall have to check. But I think that you are only entitled to a free
licence, however long the piece of paper says, while the free licence holder
is alive. Although while (s)he is alive, it does as you say cover the entire

It was bound to have gone on line. But I haven't had to pay for one for 7
years so didn't know that. But I'll still have enough to worry about without
flipping TV licences!
